# 10.1. Saving Files

There are several ways to save a file that is currently open. If the file has been named and already exists (i.e., it is not a new worksheet) the Save function will save the file to the existing name.

The Save procedure can be invoked several ways. It is available in the Menubar from the File/ Save menuitem (see Section 3.2). There is also a toolbar Save (see Section 4.2). All these methods are equivalent.
